Hello, Gert,
what a fun and colorful shot. I love the way the red blouses match the large vessel to the left. The girls all look so happy and cheerful and I love the smiles. It's so nice you decided to explore. Really great shot! Many thanks and kindest wishes,
Shelly

nice shot from the playing ground. their red shirts are eyecatching and amusing and match beautifully this round object. They were happy to see you. Why you didn't join then to play ? What is 50 years.. very nice shot.

Namaste Gert,
...1,2,3,4,5 and yes, I got the 6th one behind the red... Nice moment captured, like their friendy facial expressions. Excellent capture with good light and fine depth. A very good moment. Tfs.

Hej Gert
A joyful photo, so full of live and the lightheartedness of childhood. Even though you where the old geezer there, they did seem to enjoy having their picture taken.
Nice deep saturated reds and greens makes this very pleasant to look at.

Hi Gert
There seems to be so full of powerful red and the little angels in this small playground so full of very vibrant colors dominating the frame and catching the attention straight away. Superbly spotted and captured photographically speaking, has produced a wonderful daily image. Very well done. Congrats
Best regards

Good evening.
An interesting article about the place and time ...
Nice view of the place and the girls in red blouse ...
A good time recording, contrast, beautiful colors.
Good work, nice place and moment indicated.
Nice evening and all the best.
Paja.

Hello Gert,
it's interesting how this spontaneous capture of the girls hanging out at a corner of their school before their performance, a scene so casual and unplanned, can give us the feeling that we got insight on the daily life in their town. The girls' greeting to you and your lens has been transmitted much further away and reached so many more people. This is fascinating and very usual, expected and enjoyable in your gallery. Sometimes I think it's like you bring people closer and carry messages across the world using spontaneous portraits in daily life contexts. I like very much the naturalness of the scene, of the expressions and of the colours. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely month,
Ourania

Hi Gert
i'm interested in your last comments in the note...perhaps i'm WAY off base, but do you ever get a weird feeling as a Man watching young girls...what i mean by that is I feel in today society as a Man, I have to be aware of what i'm watching because some idiot out there may think 'that guys a pervert'

do you know what i mean?

there's a HUGE double standard out there...best example is when a man goes to the beach with a camera.
If a woman does it its ok, but when a Man does it he's a peeping Tom and a pervert.

It brings back a memory during my trip to NYC.
I approached a small childrens playground and there was actually a sign posted that read "if you are an adult not accompanied with a child, please walk away"
as if every person must be a pedophile or something!!!

again, maybe i'm WAY off base in regards to your photo, but for some reason it just came to mind - so i'm very 'aware' when i'm taking photos of young girls, I get a strange feeling somebody is watching me and mistaking my intentions, even when its so innocent as you have done here. how about you?

Ya another happy image full of happines and joynes.
Thier innconet expressions are so heratwaming.
Very appealinh and eye-catcnig vivid color.
Sharp and clear image in perfect framework as usual. The object at left side plays a good role too.

Hi Gert, a very nice and funny pic where the red so bright makes the difference,beautiful composition and great details and colors.I hope me too that you live a lot despite the diabet to see the end of Berlusconi..ehehe...have a nice Sunday and a good health forever! Luciano.

The kids saw you, you could not surprise them. Their red dresses make the shot very colourful. Good photo job.

Actually we ate meat and poultry dishes in Laos and the same we to in India. So far we have not turned vegetarians out of concern of the quality or freshness of the meat, poultry or seafood. In Laos when I can see that they cook my order and take the meat, poultry and seafood from the fridge, we eat. In India I carefully select the restaurant we will eat. It must look clean and we only take bottled water. So far we seldom had troubles in India.

The girls are certainly happy to be the subject of your shot!
For me, the colourful apple just makes the shot, it is well placed and demanding of attention. It make a most natural link to the girls who add animation and humour.
Lovely textural details.

Hi Gert,
You have captured this scene from children school playground very well. I like the composition with red dressed children and the big colourful vessel (or statue?) in the frond. Excellent snapshot in superb light. Greetings, Miro

The cute girls sitting in a park and waving at you present a sweet image for all of us.Excellent light and colors.A nice and interesting picture with good sharpness, depth, beautiful light and color.TFS.

Hi again Gert,
Cheerful and interesting... I like the big apple.. This taking photos of young people has been talked about a lot in UK as well..I can't see anything wrong.. in a public place (and for public performance), as one of the photographers I know said:'... one must have a sick mind to see anything wrong..' I think that I agree...So, this is a great documentary shot!

Probably a very wise idea not to stick around too long, especially with camera in hand. :) Love your curious intuition, it has lead to a delightful scene of childhood innocence and amusement...without being creepy. lol

Because of the tie-in with the big red apple and red uniforms of these young ladies, the picture would have been interesting on its own...but the fact you were able to catch them smiling and waving takes it to a new level of human connection. A happy result indeed! Enjoy the weekend. Take care.
